Rationale: The approach of the magazine is very much all about the fans and because of this, this magazine will offer them interviews from the artists and bands they want to see and read about; readers’ opinions; writers opinions; and the truth about the artists they want to read about rather than what the critics are headlining in the news.

Style: 

The style will be a mixed register as interviews will be professional however with humour and opinions. This magazine is all about people who follow the Indie Culture and is for readers aged 16+ using simple syntax and grammar making it easier and not a struggle to read with a simple discourse including short and easy set out paragraphs.
